FAQ
Questions people ask before starting
Do I need to download the YouTube video first?
No. Paste a public link and create a transcript task directly. Public captions may be used first when they are available.
Can private or login-protected videos be processed?
Not reliably. EasyScribe is for public content that you have the right to process. Private, protected, or login-only videos may fail.
Can I translate a YouTube transcript?
Yes. After the transcript is ready, you can create a translation and review the original and translated versions.
